Hello, I’m Grauben.

I started this business to do more of what I loved most as a grantmaker: working directly with mission-driven organizations to help them succeed. While reviewing hundreds of proposals from groups around the world, I saw how often strong ideas were buried in unclear language or missing the connection to what funders care about most.

That insight, paired with my belief that fundraising should feel empowering, not exhausting, is what led me to launch this consulting practice.

My Approach

I take a collaborative, honest, and strategic approach to all my work. I know how it feels to be on the funder side of the table, and I bring that perspective to help nonprofits present themselves clearly and confidently.

Whether we’re reviewing a draft proposal, building a donor strategy, or rethinking how you talk about your impact, I focus on what will help your organization grow sustainably and stay mission-focused.

Nonprofits shouldn’t feel stressed out by fundraising. They should feel equipped, confident, and excited to tell their story.

Who I’ve Worked With

I’ve worked with civil society organizations across the U.S., Canada, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, India, Ukraine, and more. From grassroots nonprofits to policy think tanks, I’ve supported organizations that are passionate about improving lives and communities through education, innovation, and bottom-up change.

My clients tend to share a few key values: they believe in human dignity, transparency, and the power of local solutions.
